Green Finance Highlights and top Sustainability jobs— Europe & Middle East (This past week)
Even when many stories seem cautious or focused on risk, this past week delivered solid sustainable finance wins in Europe & the Middle East. Here are two developments worth spotlighting:
🇪🇺 EU Guarantee & Omnibus Package Boosts Investment Capacity
The European Commission, with support from the Parliament & Council, agreed on the Omnibus package that strengthens EU investment tools.
Key component: an extra €2.9 billion EU guarantee designed to unlock around €55 billion in additional public and private investment through programs like InvestEU, the Clean Industrial Deal, and competitiveness efforts. (Internal Market and SMEs)
Roughly 40% of current InvestEU operations are already climate-aligned; these changes will likely accelerate the flow of capital into green industrial, infrastructure, clean technology & SME projects. (Internal Market and SMEs)
🌍 OPEC Fund Issues €500 Million Sustainability Bond
The OPEC Fund for International Development issued a €500M sustainability bond (Euro-denominated benchmark) on 18 September 2025, aimed at supporting global sustainable development including renewable energy, health, education, infrastructure and employment. (https://opecfund.org)
It saw strong demand: ~67% of investors from EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), 33% from Asia. (https://opecfund.org)
📈 Why These Matter for Green Jobs
Region & Initiative and Likely Opportunity growth Areas
EU Guarantee + Omnibus package -> Project finance, regulatory roles, investment advisory, SME green projects
